  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations make further amendments to the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992 (“the principal Regulations”).\nThe principal Regulations concern the assessment of the ability of a person to pay for accommodation arranged by local authorities under Part 3 of the National Assistance Act 1948.\nRegulation 2 amends the principal Regulations to disregard a guaranteed income payment in its entirety from the calculation of income other than earnings for the purposes of assessing a person’s ability to pay for that accommodation. A guaranteed income payment is a monthly loss of earnings capacity compensation payment made where the predominant cause of injury or illness is as a result of service in the Armed Forces.\nRegulation 2 also amends the principal Regulations to disregard the first £10 of a survivor’s guaranteed income payment made under the Armed Forces and Reserve Forces (Compensation Scheme) Order 2011. A survivor’s guaranteed income payment is a payment made until death to a surviving spouse, civil partner or surviving adult dependent. The Regulation also amends the principal Regulations to provide that the weekly amount of income disregarded under this provision together with specified other provisions cannot exceed £20 in total.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on business or the voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
